Image: © Jo and Steve Turner Taken: 17 Jun 2014
Category A listed house of 1671 rebuilt by Burgh Architect in 1958-9. The initials in the 2nd floor probably represent James Norrie, a Town Clerk of the burgh at the time and his wife Agnes Robertson. The interpretation of the initials in the 3rd floor is less certain but they could represent James Robertson, Norrie's father-in-law, and his wife. The plaque on the wall asserts that the wigged head at the top of the roof is Norie looking down at you.
